Chapter 1103 I want all
Soon after driving, the car stopped slowly. After getting off the car, Ye Chenghuan realized that the place they were coming and going was at the Christie's auction in Tokyo.
In front of me is a square building, with glass curtain walls on all sides making the inside and outside look very transparent. The tall thirty steps and the tall and stout round carved marble door posts make the building full of European classical artistic atmosphere.
After coming to the building, I used the VIP ID card to confirm the reservation information, and under the guidance of the staff, I followed the long red carpet to the auction hall No. 1.
The hall was full, and two empty seats were quickly found in the order of numbers.
Ye Chenghuan didn't know why she suddenly took her here to play on a whim, but places like auctions are not affordable for ordinary people. If there is no value of hundreds of millions of dollars, who dares to come here to play casually. Every time she raises a sign, it may mean that tens of millions of dollars will evaporate.
He looked at the people around him. It was not difficult to see from his appearance and words that most of them came to participate in the auction. Of course, there were also tycoons who came from afar, who invested in European and American art. Before the auction began, he saw them looking confident and full of confidence. It was not difficult to guess that this auction was very valuable.
I accidentally saw a familiar face. The man was whispering something to a man next to me, not listening to gestures and making various discussions.
That person is nothing else, but Xu Jianqiu whom he just met today.
However, judging from the momentum of the two, Xu Jianqiu was obviously not the protagonist, but the man next to him.
Ye Chenghuan angrily said to the other side with a teasing voice: "Here, your dear old classmate is here too."
This is neither yin nor yang, and it is sour and jealous. Lin Peishan frowned, "I saw it."
"Why can't you go over and say hello? Maybe they are coming for you."
"Will you speak well?"
"I've been talking well all the time."
Lin Peishan was too lazy to argue with him, so she simply turned her face and ignored him.
Ye Chenghuan saw that the other person was really angry, so he pleased him embarrassedly: "People, don't blame me for being sarcastic. You said that there was no such coincidence. I won't see you sooner or later, but I met you at this time, as if you had made an appointment. If you think I was in trouble, then I'll withdraw first."
Lin Peishan didn't say anything, but her eyelashes were trembling. Ye Chenghuan realized that this girl was so aggrieved that she cried.
He couldn't bear to see women cry, especially Lin Peishan crying. Her crying made people heartbroken.
"Don't do this, I'll just joke..." Ye Chenghuan didn't know what to do, so he could only pull back.
Lin Peishan looked at him with red eyes: "Can you just joke around like this? Who do you think of me? I am such a woman in your eyes?"
Ye Chenghuan opened her mouth and her tongue was a little mixed with garlic, "I...I don't mean that..."
"Then what do you mean!"
Is Lin Peishan easy to mess with? They don’t usually know you, but don’t let her catch the handle, otherwise you will definitely die ugly.
Tears and aggressive offensives made Ye Chenghuan lose after one round.
"Don't you not believe me? Didn't you think I'm a fickle woman? Don't you doubt what's going on between me and him? Well, now I'll ask him in front of you." Unexpectedly, Lin Peishan was really playing tricks this time, grabbing Ye Chenghuan's arm and saying that she would go over no matter what, which made him very embarrassed.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I shouldn't say those unreasonable words to you, so I won't dare to do it in the future." Ye Chenghuan was forced to the point of desperate situation and had to surrender his gun.
"You also know that you are not speaking in a slight way, so why do you still talk nonsense?"
"I have a brain disease and forgot to take medicine when I go out. Is this OK to explain?"
Lin Peishan stopped pursuing the matter and returned to her seat.
After finally resolving the misunderstanding, Ye Chenghuan struck while the iron was hot and had nothing to say: "Baby, do you really want to come to auction things?"
"Um."
"What's so important? You have to mobilize others to come and participate in it in person. Just send an assistant here."
"This game is a Ming and Qing units in Shenzhou. The items are all national treasure-level targets, so it attracts so many buyers who are keen on investing in art."
"This seems to be inconsistent with your company. Do you also want to change careers and collect them?"
"You'll know later."
"It seems that the competition for this auction is very fierce. I am not good at this thing. I don't know what I can do for you?"
“What you have to do is simple: hold a sign.”
Ye Chenghuan blinked: "This brand seems to be not casual. Every time you pick it up, it's money. Which one do you like?"
"all."
Ye Chenghuan took a breath, "You are not kidding, what do you mean?"
"I want all the lots from this auction."
Ye Chenghuan was stunned. Is this girl crazy? Such a smart and calculating woman would do such an irrelevant thing!
He has never seen the auction. It is already a victory for buyers to get one or two items they like. Of course, who doesn’t want to eat a fat man in one bite is the key to the purse determines the appetite. Even those big-name figures who invest in art in Europe and the United States have never seen anyone who will take pictures of the whole lot. Those are all national treasure-level antiques, not potatoes and cabbage.
"Baby, what do you want to do? Even if we want to spend money, we won't bring this kind of fun."
Lin Peishan thought he was talking too much, "Don't ask, just do as I say."
"I heard that auctions are not only about making money, but also about fighting. I don't understand this set of things. Do you have to set a limit for me first? How much is the appropriate amount of each item?"
"There is no limit, no cap. Your task is to help me take all the items. As long as there is still someone who offers a bid, you must suppress him."
Ye Chenghuan was puzzled and confused. He was one and two big. "Xu Jianqiu was there too. If he wanted to make a quote, would he not even give his old classmate's face?"
"There are no classmates in this kind of place, only strength determines everything." This sentence was very domineering, which made Ye Chenghuan feel very admiring.
"I think it's a bit too reckless for you to do this, otherwise you'll consider it..."
Lin Peishan glared at him: "Why are you talking so much? I'm not afraid of anything you are afraid of."
Ye Chenghuan shrugged his shoulders and straightened his waist, and suddenly became energetic: "Anyway, I have nothing to be afraid of when you pay for it? Isn't it just to raise the sign? Today you have chosen the right person. There is no one else who dares to do such a good thing except me."
He is not bragging, he dares to do such things. If someone else can’t claim a few times, he will have to get a myocardial infarction on the spot.
The auction officially began, and staff distributed brochures of lots to all participants in the auction. The auctioneer also introduced the first lot of the auction to the projection screen.
As expected, the first piece was a heavyweight antique. The "Yellow Land Green Glaze Scratched Flowers and Brushed Branches Flowers and Clouds Bat Pattern Bottle" by Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty, which was 41 cm high. The whole utensil was covered with yellow glaze as the ground. The patterns on it were decorated with contour lines and details and then filled with green glaze. The neck, belly, and near the bottom were decorated with banana leaf pattern bands, folded branches, clouds and bat patterns, and petal-shaped patterns bands, which had the auspicious meaning of fortune and luck. They were collected from Europe by the antique dealer Frankcaro in New York in the 1970s. Similar objects with bats in the patterns can be found in the Forbidden City of China. This type of yellow land green glaze porcelain began in Jingdezhen in the 15th century. Archaeological data shows porcelain plates from the Xuande period, with an estimated price of 150,000 pounds.
After the introduction, there were whispers at the scene, and the tycoons discussed bidding measures with their investment assistants.
Before the auctioneer announced the bid, Ye Chenghuan had already raised the sign, and the quotation was directly raised to 200,000 pounds.
Such lots are usually called from the starting price of 5,000 pounds, and up to 10,000 pounds. What's more, the first lot is quoted for testing the waters, so they are more conservative. But when I met Ye Chenghuan, who didn't play according to common sense, he directly gave a psychological collapse price. This is just his warm-up price for the first time to practice.
After the offer, he glanced at the woman's expression. Seeing that she was not at all disturbed, he immediately felt relieved and rolled up his sleeves and set off his posture to give it a try.
People were talking again. Since Xu Jianqiu was far away from here, after hearing the offer, he only knew that it was the bidder No. 16, but he couldn't see the situation here. He couldn't help but frown and said to the person next to him in Japanese: "Brother, it seems that this auction is not as optimistic as we think. There was a disruptor at the beginning."
The one who came with him was Xu Jianqiu's half-brother, the first deputy president of Lotte Corporation, Masayoshi Eguchi.
The man was wearing a black Japanese kimono, wearing a pair of wooden clogs, wearing two neatly decorated mustaches, squinted his eyes and legs, and sat there with a big lazi look like a Japanese samurai looked arrogant.
"It's just the beginning, that person doesn't understand the auction rules at all, and it takes strength to disrupt the situation."
"What should we do?"
"Just one lot, give it to him."
After hearing what his brother said, Xu Jianqiu temporarily endured it.
After a while of discussion, the audience fell silent again. The auctioneer asked a few times but no one offered. So Ye Chenghuan won the first item as soon as he appeared and bought the first item at a very scam price.
Next, the auctioneer will continue to introduce the next item, which is the "Five-Colored Dragon Pattern Can" of Jiajing of Ming Dynasty. It is 38.8 cm high, and the can is hexagonal. The whole item is depicted in five colors of iron red, turquoise blue, yellow, dark green, and black. The blocks between the edges of the can be painted with dragon patterns on the back cover of the sea. The consecrated surroundings are painted with a tangled flower pattern with a main pattern on the shoulders and abdomen. The upper and lower sides are painted with overlapping banana leaf pattern bands on the shoulders and abdomen. The neck of the can is decorated with a tangled flower pattern, with an estimated price of 300,000 pounds.
Before the auctioneer could finish his words, Ye Chenghuan raised the sign again, and this time he just wrote 500,000!
In an instant, the audience burst into thunder, and some people even stood up and looked over there. Ye Chenghuan held the sign in one hand, and did not forget to wave to people with his other hand holding a cigarette.
